With FatCat Mini Bikes, maintenance is hassle-free, leaving you more time to enjoy exhilarating off-road adventures. So, rev up those engines and let the fun begin!
Keeping your FatCat in tiptop shape is a piece of cake with these simple checks before each ride:
- Ensure proper tire inflation.
- Check oil and fuel levels.
- Give the chain some love with a good cleaning and lubrication.
- Verify chain tension and make adjustments if needed.
For a complete guide, refer to the owner's manual and get all the details you need. And don't worry - our engines come with some fuel already in them but consider an oil change after the initial few hours of riding using the genuine Honda 10W-30 API SJ oil, available at your local Bunnings.
Before you hit the trails, some assembly tips to maximize your FatCat experience:
Safety Cautions:
- Route cables and brake lines carefully to avoid interference with steering. Secure the rear brake line with included cable ties to prevent catching on the front mud guard.
- The engine should have oil, but double-check and ignore any assembly instructions or labels suggesting to fill it.
- A low oil sensor prevents starting with insufficient oil or when on a lean.
- Adjust the throttle limiting screw under the air filter housing as desired (usually factory-set to about half throttle).
- Always check tire pressure before riding. The minimum recommended is 10psi, but it can vary depending on rider weight and terrain (up to 15 psi is fine).
- The chain comes with an anti-rust coating but needs lubrication before use. Motorcycle chain lube is best, but gear oil or engine oil works too.
- For CVT maintenance info, refer to the owner's manual.
